Parties having hay, straw or corn to
sell in this vicinity, can step right up
aside of bond-holders and other capital

scarce, and command most any price

Mail carrier johnson met his match
Saturday morning in the shape of a
horizontal blizzard which met him on
the south side of Blakes Prairie and
ordered him back-and he backed. He
reports snow drifts that he could not see
over, nor dig under, so he faced about
for the head of the route, but it is doubt
full if he gets there, as it is by far the
worst storm of this winter. All travel
is discontinued, and it will take much
labor to open communication with
neigboring towns again.

to erect blacksmith shop in Bagley

able of handling shovel than cooking.

telling what might transpire any day.

CONCERT AHEAD.-The Jubilee sing
ers are coming! All who desire to hear
the original Fisk University Singers
will be offered the opportunity about
the Goth or 25th OF the month. This
troupe is the one with whom the Jubi-
lee singing originated and is, in the o.
pinion of all who have heard them, far
superior to any thing of the kind in the
country. The troupe consists of ten
singers, who have made tour of all
the countries of the globe and have
every where been received with great
enthusiasm. The story of their tri-
umph was told in tho Independent at
the time and .the:opinions of the distin-
guisbed people who heard them were
eulogistic in the extreme. No one
should miss the chance of hearing
what is, without doubt, charming
entertainment. The date will be
surrwsa soon.

Large lots of railroad ties are being
received at the depot. They are piled
along the track and occasionally an
inspector comes here who counts and
measures the ties, dividing them off
into three grades by marking dots upon
them with brush and red paint. Then
the money for all the ties is sent to MIR.
Decker in lump, and it is his duty to
go over the ties and pay each seller his
just dues. This is not an easy task,
and occasions Mr.. Decker a great
amount of extra work.

A CoRRECTIoN.-In giving us a list
of the cases that had been tried in
the circuit court last week an outside
reporter for the HERALD stated that
the Dodgeville Sun had failed two
years ago, and in the rush incident to
getting to press the eagle eye of the
HERALD man did not detect the mis-
take. Our reporter evidently got the
Sun mixed up with the Star that fell
from the Dodgeville constellation about
two years ago. The Sun has never
failed to come 10 our exchange table
since Its birth, and it is bright, newsy
well edited paper. We hope that it
may have long and prosperous ex-
issence.

The percentage of attendance for the

preceding month this year. This irregu-
larity is caused mostly by sickness, and
should serve to remind parents of the

The HERALD under cover of the Ed
itorial "we" makes its bow before the
public today. boldly asserting that this
issue of the paper begins the forty-fifth
year of our career "as public educa-
tor and benefactor." Lucy Stone says
that this country will have woman
president in the year 1000, and the
Judge "bethinks itself that in that
year some of the dear old girls will be
eligible" The HERALD has not to
wait so long. The elegible age came
ten years ago and we have been a resi-
dent of the state since our birth. In
fact we have always been eligible for
all the favors our good patrons would
bestow and they have been generously
given. 1t is now our prime of life.
In five years we will begin to descend
the hill toward century and old age.
In five years we will complete the half
century and celebrate our golden ami

subscribers to a feast, no Bsrmecide

scribers for half the life time of the paper
will then unite with us in q jubilee. In
view of such inducements it is the part
of wisdom, to make the next five years
count toward the lucky number. Our unsel
